The Skavsta Airport - sometimes referred to as the Nykoping Airport, named for the city in which the airport sits, is an international airport and is the 3rd busiest in Sweden. The airport serves between 2 and 3 million passengers per year, coming and going. The airport offers serves to and from Gdansk, Thessaloniki, and Alicante just to name a few. The city of Nykoping only has about 30,000 residence, so it's safe to say that most folks that fly into the Skavsta Airport are probably bound for Stockholm.

Stockholm Skavsta Airport Car Rental.....

Five car rental companies operate at the Skavsta Airport. These include Sixt, Hertz, Europcar, Budget, and Avis. Each rental car company has operated in the Stockholm area for years and should provide good service at a good price for area travelers. Cars are located on the airport premises in an indoor car parking lot, so there's no need of a shuttle to some off-site location. The indoor car parking lot is on the other side of the short-term parking area and drop-off area in front of the terminal.

To get to Stockholm, you will drive out of the indoor parking lot and onto General Schybergs vag out of the airport area. Travel about 2.5 km thru the countryside until you hit Route 52. Take the second exit at the Roundabout and travel East on 52 towards Nykoping for another 2.7 km (you will go straight thru another roundabout on your way). You will go thru a roundabout, go underneath an overpass, then watch for the little green sign that directs you to Stockholm. Turn left, go up the hill and merge onto E4, and drive on E4 for about 96 km all the way into Stockholm. Estimate the total trip time to be about one hour and 20 minutes.

When returning from Stockholm, we simply recommend that you reverse the directions and travel back Westward in your rental car on E4 towards the Skavsta Airport. As you enter the airport grounds, you will see a fueling service station on the left-hand side. We always recommend that you re-fuel your rental car before handing the keys back over to the car rental company. The rental car return area is on the same side of the road, right after the service station - and near the long-term parking area at the Skavsta Airport.

Hotels Near the Skavsta Airport.....

There is a hotel less than 100 meters from the terminal entrance/exit. Simply exit out the front, cross a little road and the Connect Hotel will be right there. The hotel itself is very nice, but the food and drinks can be pretty expensive. Beef, lamb and fish are all served here, but main course dinners run in the $30-40 range. The problem is, the airport is away from civilization, so you don't have a lot of choice unless you can eat in the airport itself. Wi-Fi is available but pricey as well. All in all, you could do a lot worse than the Connect if you're looking for a comfortable night's stay near the Skavsta Airport.

For better food, you might drive your rental car down to Nykoping and eat at the Oliver Twist. The Oliver Twist is a British-type pub, with the typical pub food choices such as burgers and and steak. To get there via rental car, simply travel out as above, except before you go underneath the overpass as mentioned above, you will exit off of Route 52 onto Route 53. Take it into the city of Nykoping (watch for blue signs). You will pass a McDonald's on the right, take the second exit on two consecutive traffic circles (traveling towards the Centrum) and end up right in front of of the Oliver Twist. You can't miss it, it's a reddish-brown building that sits opposite a little sitting park.

Car Rental Types at the Nykoping Airport.....

Car Rental prices at the Nykoping Airport can be pretty pricey. Even the smaller cars will often be fairly expensive (I will say that Eurocarrental is far cheaper than the prices you would pay if hiring from the Nykoping Airport itself. Test our booking engine for yourself and see if we're not 20-30% cheaper than most of the others. Types of rental cars range from smaller compacts, to station-wagons, to full-size, to luxury Mercedes to minivans (both 7-passenger and 9-passenger).
